Adler Founded in 1828	Hauptstrasse 34 8762 Schwanden 055 647 35 35	#23 9'000 hl list of beers	18	10.2	Brewer: Jörg Kambach. This family-owned brewery has been founded in 1828 by Fridolin Tschudi. It is nowadays run by the 4th generation and has 16 employees. Its production output has remained very stable since the 70s (9'000 hl in 2017/2018). The products were for a long time weak and unimaginative german-style beers. By far not my favourite brewery in the country, to say the least... But the recent Festbock, Geisser and Holzdieb are giving positive signs! Since recently also producing whiskies.
